"You have heard about a big beef syn
dictate being organized in Denver to
control the business in the entire West
and that it had S25, 600, 900 paid in" said
Ben E. Zalinger, an old-time business
man of the said city, last night at the
Grand.
"Well, $4,000, 600 does not begin to
touch the cash that is in it. There was
S50,000,000 at the start, and enough has
since been added to make it nearly or
quite Sl00,000,000. 1t is the most gigan-
tic corporation that has ever been organ
lied, and is going to bust Phil Armour.
Look at it. The S1O0,OOO,OO0 they
have got viii give them credit of $780,,
600, 600 more, andwith $500, 600, 600 where
would Phil Armour or any other meat
firm be? The millionaire. GOV. Routt,
of Colorado, is one of the moving spirits,
and all the cattlemen of the West are
in it.
why, it is colossal-stupendou
Phil Armour is nowhere.
''They propose to slaughter the cattle,
establish packing-houSeS, and supply
customers direct, without middle men.
They will establish great meat depot
i'll every town of consequence, and
every man needing steak may go there
and get it the same as he now goes every
morning to his little butcher-ShOp.
Colorado is now very prosperous.
Denver has become railroad center.
She has the Denver a. Rio Grande net
work of rails, reaching through the
state and into New Mexico and Utah.
And in addition to the Union Pacific
and branches and AtchisOn, Topeka Il
Santa Fe, the Missouri Pacific will con-
meet with Denver in two years. 1t will
get to Pueblo this summer. The Den
yer, Utah IL Pacific is going to be
brought round into the eastern part of
the state to the newly developed agri-
cultural sections. The Colorado Mid
land is being completed from Leadville
to Colorado Springs, and for four months
past the Chicago IL Northwestern and the
Chicago, Rock Island 81 Pacific have
been negotiating for ground in Denver
with the intent of coming here.
of majority of the stock of the Denver
& Rio Grande, the road of which Dave
Moffat was elected president the other
day, and it is thought the Midland is
really the Missouri Pacific. Jay Gould
has secured control of the Colorado
Coal and Iron company at Pueblo. This
company runs the BeSSemer Steel
works there, and they employ 1900
men, and make steel rails, nails, brass
castings and everything you can think
of. It's big thing. Gould undoubtedly
bought those works in order to make
what rails he wants out in the West.
It's great big thing.
Eyes, Denver is, since March last,
having an immense growth. The
whole state has picked up fast. The
| cattle sales last year amounted to about
S40,0O0,O00, and she got out some $780,
O00,0O in bullion, s40,000,0O0 of which
came from Leadville alone. The popu-
lation of the state is now about 275,0O0
''Town lots in Denver which year
ago were worth 500, now can't be
| bought for $1,000. Very rich people live
in Denver now. ManitOu has become a
| great summer resort"
hIr. Zalinger is an old newspaper
man, and is now proprietor of one of
the leading publishing houses of that
city. This is his first trip to California,
and he is greatly pleased with it. He
will leave over the Central Pacific for
the East probably tomorrow.
